Rank #8 in Best Trolley Jack 2026: 10 Ranked, and the 3-Tonne Label That Doesn't Add Up
2.5 Ton Hydraulic Floor Jack, Blue, 85-385 mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The 2.5 Ton Hydraulic Floor Jack is number 8 in this guide and costs £36.59. It is a steel trolley jack with an integrated carry handle, two fixed wheels and two 360° swivel casters, listed as compatible with cars, trailers, trucks and vans. The listing gives a lifting range of 85mm to 385mm, so 85mm is the number worth checking against your own car's sill height — the word "Low Profile" in the title is the marketing version of the same claim.
The same page also disagrees with itself on ratings. It shows 4.5 out of 5 stars from 184 ratings, but the breakdown printed beside them — 72 five-star, 18 four-star, 5 three-star and 5 one-star — comes to 100 votes, and 4.5 is exactly what those 100 votes average. Every figure on this page is what the Amazon listing states: the bullets, the specification table, the rating counts and the customer reviews. We have not tested this jack ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“It was so funny taking it of box.I was expecting a red jack and when opening the box it was bright yellow.It did its job so far but time will tell.Expect a product review when Iv used it for a while!?!”
Verified purchase“I must admit for a cheap jack it does the job quite well. It's not a low profile as most low profile jacks but it get the job done with ease.My only criticism is it's only a short stoke piston.”
